She tells friends and family how she has them at least once a week when I can count on 1 hand how many times she’s had them on her own in 10 years. We have the two preschoolers (3 and 2) three days a week, 8.30 till 5.00. Plus extra (including the 6 year old) during school holidays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so pissed off when it slipped out she’d told her boss that my wife had to go back into the office on Fridays and she needed the day off to look after the children. She’d told someone else and it got back to us. Edited April 19, 2022 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 During the first few months of lockdown, my partner's mum stayed at home doing minimal duties remotely after telling her employer that her daughter had to stay at home shielding because she's vulnerable. She neglected to tell her boss that they were discussing an independent 30 year old woman and not a child needing daycare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People go camping here in Oz.But as far as I am concerned you would have to be a couple of sandwiches short of a picnic to go in the bush here,with all the critters we have in the wild. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend most of my time in the reception area, best for wifi coverage. It's also closest to the front door Tonight A woman arrives to see her dad, without a booking, were under lockdown. Staff try to calm her down as she was getting angry. So they tried to accommodate her and get a meeting in a remote room. Staff speaks to the dad, he's got dementia, and says he doesn't want to see her as he only has sons. Staff arrange a visit for tomorrow. I'm on the edge of the conversation and ask how far she has come, Cornwall she said. 13 hours on the road. She's booked into a Travelodge nearby. She said she has a snack for later, I said she could do with a glass of wine. She said she could down a bottle, but we're in the countryside nowhere near. Hang on a minute back to my room and pick a bottle of chablis. Her face was a picture. The pleasure of doing something good for a complete stranger is a really nice feeling Is it dusty or something in this thread 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mandy Lifeboats Posted April 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) I went to a military re-enactment event today and got talking to the WW2 German Artillery. They turned out to be 2 Polish lads. I asked the obvious question. Why would 2 Polish lads choose Nazi Germany to re-enact? He explained that he started the hobby whilst living in Poland. Apparently everyone wanted to re-enact Poles or Americans. This raised the price of memorabilia. That was followed by a wonderful quote: "But my grandad had a load of German equipment in his cellar which he acquired by a very different method."
